Hello! MegaSceptile001 from the Magic School Bus wiki here. Here we have (Almost) all 52 episodes of the 90s era of The Magic School Bus, cropped and stretched scene-by-scene into 16:9 1080p video, à la how The Simpsons handled reformatting 4:3 pre-LABF line episodes.

This, my friends, is The Magic School Bus: The Definitive Editions project, which I hope to fully flesh out on the 30th anniversary of the TV series next year, with the goal to remaster and preserve MSB content.

Other parts of the Definitive Edition project will be added in separate pages as I work on them:

The 4:3 90s Definitive Editions, which will be AviSynth 1080p upscales of the 2010s Region 1 and 2000s Region 3 DVDs structured like the master tapes and DVDs.

The Rides Again DEs, with all Netflix logos removed but the Joanna Cole dedication card from Season 3 intact, Goldstealer untouched until it gets a HD release, and the opening theme added to Season 3. In addition, the MSB Season 4 Book Promo will be added too after the 9 Story logo (S1-2)/dedication to Cole (S3) because what is the MSB franchise without the books that started it?

(note how I'm doing 90s season 2 first because S2-4 are Much better in quality compared to S1 which I will do last)

Episode structure is based on the master tapes, but with a slight twist: since these are in widescreen, a Del/Dee/Dot logo plasters the P-Pals.

It goes like this (in PBS-Mastered versions):

Opening Funding
Episode Intro
Episode
Producer Intro
Producer
Credits (with blue Nelvana logo re-plastered)
Closing Funding
Select Del/Dee/Dot PBS System Cues (will depend on the theme of the episode, e.g., Blows Its Top uses the Moonwalk one because it involves claiming territory with a flag, like the one on Lizard Island in the episode)
Book Roster: "Visit your local library and read more about science in The Magic School Bus and other science books."

There are subtitles, which are revised versions of the DCMP captions. They are dedicated to the request of Fandom user AnuktheSupermaster12.

Coming Soon:

Holiday Special (full version with extended "behind the scenes" producer segment): December 25
